StatsGuru Filters for Sam Cook


Profile:

A left arm spinner whose strength was length and accuracy, Cecil (Sam) Cook was always economical, and spun the ball considerably, but his lack of flight made him less effective as an attacking bowler. His performance in his one Test did little to encourage further selection, but he partnered Tom Goddard in Gloucestershire's spin attack for many years, and later became a first-class umpire. He took a wicket with his first ball in first class cricket, and was a poor bat, employing a shot of his own that he called the "Tetbury chop", and his teammates "killing the rat" (Dave Liverman, 1998).
